Even with 'conflictive' people like Will White, Dylan and even Margaret Patrice, he shows attempts to keep them out of legal problems. In general, he shows a more sympathetic and relatable side of him, usually remembering events of his past as he listens to other people, like with Marie Rivet, who reminded him of his mother the day he left his home, where she told him that she was strong by herself and she could handle it alone. He's shown to have certain mixed feelings about his father's past and he questioned his mother about it, saying 'Why did you fall in love with a man like him?'. He listens to other people's problems very often and does his best efforts to remediate the problems within the Cape West tenants. In Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, after resolving the case about Bradley and now being placed in a more personal adventure, Kyle shows a more calm and even compassionate personality than before. Louis also mentions Kyle only falls for women with 'issues' and says he had a whacked-out lover, suggesting he finds people with burdens compelling and may hint at Kyle's desire to help someone in need.

This is made even more peculiar due to Kyle growing up in America in the 1940s-50s, in an era when most people overwhelmingly identified as Christian. Kyle may not be into religion or be someone of faith, as he never brings up God or aspects such as prayer during confrontations with people, which often dive into moral topics. It is possible he is still not quite over past events like his girlfriend's death and what happened with Bradley. He also seems to lack some life motivation, possibly due to mild depression, and he feels his Red Crown job is 'miserable'. His habits lead him to getting fired by Ed in Last Window, as well as struggling to pay his rent. It is suggested drinking is one of his vices, as in the beginning of the game, Ed asks, 'Hung over again, eh?' after Kyle mentions he has a headache. He also doesn't take the teenage Jeff Angel very seriously and severely lectures him about his actions. He can be strict around disobedient children such as Melissa, a little girl living in the hotel. This could be due to his time as a detective and possible undercover work. He is very good at lying, being able to come up with them on the spot. He then becomes very tenacious, even mischievous when he does things such as snooping around places people like Dunning and Mags disprove of him being in. While he presents a gruff and cavalier exterior, he drops all pretense when something grabs his attention. He prefers to keep his past private to the point Rachel and other people dub him a 'man of mystery'.ĭue to the mysterious incident with Bradley, he shows certain sense of feeling lost, but always keeps his mind focused on discover the truth about it. He can also make some blunt and insensitive comments from time to time, offending people like Iris such as when he tells her to 'Talk, dammit!' He doesn't like nosy people, despite ironically being quite nosy himself sometimes. He is often very sarcastic and impatient when it comes to listening to people's problems. This suit is mentioned in the previous game by Louis Denonno, who comments on the fact he is not wearing it.ĭuring Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Kyle is a serious and collected man, usually being a non-impressionable person in general.
